Verse 4.24.21

अयमहमिति निश्चयो वृथा यस्तमलमपास्य महामते स्वबुद्ध्या ।
यदितरदवलम्ब्य तत्पदं त्वं व्रज पिब भुङ्क्ष्व न बध्यसे मनस्कः ॥ २१ ॥

ayamahamiti niścayo vṛthā yastamalamapāsya mahāmate svabuddhyā |
yaditaradavalambya tatpadaṃ tvaṃ vraja piba bhuṅkṣva na badhyase manaskaḥ || 21 ||

Give up, O high minded Rama! your misjudgments of the reality of yourself, and of this and that thing; but direct your understanding to the knowledge of the Reality which is beyond all these; and by forsaking your belief and reliance in the mind, continue in your course of eating and drinking as before.
